Free to attend, donations appreciated. Work on your bird watching skills while helping the Arboretum monitor bird populations on a fun, relaxed morning walk. Join the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center on the second Saturday of each month at the front door of the building for a two-hour bird walk led by Kelsey Low and Theo Ostler, a resident bird enthusiast. We welcome all levels of bird watching skill and all ages (as long as you’re quiet) – but no dogs, please! If you have binoculars of your own, please bring them. We do have some binoculars available to borrow. For more events with the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center, visit their Events Calendar!
Learn about the animals of Armand Bayou and the habitats they live in. Demonstrations vary from week to week: mammals, birds and reptiles.

Tickets are $10/adult and $6/child (ages 3 – 17). Space is limited; register early!
What to Bring: Dress for walking in the woods – including insect repellent. Flashlight optional.
Parking: Please park in the Memorial Methodist west parking lot (12955 Memorial Drive) or the Sanctuary’s small lot at 440 Wilchester. Please do not leave any valuables in your vehicle.
